Dear All:

I am getting problem to trigger a batch file to send sms to the specific user whenever any events has occur. Bellow I have given the sample batch file code which I have run in the GFI EventManager 8.0 to generate a message to the text file(log.tx) but its was unable to trigger this message to the text file.

Code:

@echo off
Set message=null
Echo "Message to write" %message% >> c:\log.txt

Can anyone please help me to run batch file or script file in GFI EventManager 8.0 which will send an sms to any specific users.

It would be really great for me to work with this events. Hope to get your's earliest response.

Thanks

Try creating a folder such as C:\GFIMessages and giving SYSTEM, and Domain Users "full control" of this folder from the NTFS permissions and try again.

One of two things could be happening:
1) GFI EventsManager is not running the .BAT file at all
2) GFI EventsManager is running the .BAT file, but it is failing.

To determine this we can have winsdows audit the .bat file and write an event each time it is run. These steps will help: http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID002902

Once completed, test this by running the .BAT file manually. The event should show up in the windows event log (and subsequently be collected by GFI EventsManager)

Next, allow GFI EventsManager to process as usual, waiting for when the .BAT file would normally run - Once the file should have been run, check the windows event logs to see if the audit event is created.
